Notes: Dragon Lee does not have a video, but does have a giant stick. A bo? I know who Dragon Lee's would pick for his favorite Ninja Turtle. Maya is ref.

When joined, they're battling evenly off armdrags. Shoulder to shoulder on double wristlock. Delta forces Dragon Lee down, Dragon Lee uses leverage to hope to the side of Delta and breaks free with kicks. On Delta' shoulders, off with an armdrag. Dragon Lee armbar, Delta cartwheels and rolls free. Dragon Lee trip, standing star press gets zero, Delta standing moonsault gets zero. People reacted to the SSP, but won't if it get s zero again. Delta with a single leg, and roll thru into a half crab. Delta switches quick to a double armbar, but doesn’t really get much into it. Counter lead to a Dragon Lee 'rana one two NO, Delta pin, one two no. More rollup reversals. Shocker is watching intensely, though can probably wait until they get somewhere more. Dragon Lee kicks Delta, and shoves hi into the corner. Chop. Dragon Lee catching his breath, holds Delta in the corner. Dragon Lee's punch is no Palacio Negro punch. Corner whip, Delta runs up the corner and flips out, Dragon Lee looks at him, charges, ducks under a clothesline, and comes back with a headscissors. Delta out, Dragon Lee running – up the corner tope con giro to the floor!

Whip, reveres, Dragon Lee rolls over the backdrop attempt, kicks to the chest knocks Dragon down, and DL lands a jumping elbow drop. One two NO. Dragon Lee tries to stand up Delta, Delta not getting up, Dragon Lee goes to the apron on his own, springboard – uh, double knee to the midsection. Fans know that's not right and boos even as Dragon Lee gets the two count. Chest slap. Whip, Delta springboard back elbow. Off the ropes, dropkick sends Dragon Lee out. Delta runs – TOPE. Dragon Lee smushed into the front row, Delta making pretty good contact. Delta brings Dragon Lee in. Delta positions him and heads up. Delta taking his time. Top rope frog splash connects! One two NO. Delta is frustrated, though I'm not sure why. It was a good looking frog splash, don't get me wrong. Video breaks here.

Dragon Lee 'rana turned into a Delta powerbomb, one two no. Shocker tells Delta to follow up. Good plan! Dragon lee charges, Delta trips him up into the ropes, out to the apron, springboard double stomp. Delta fired up. Delta drags Dragon Lee into position, and heads up. Moonsault? Yes, and it just lands. Delta covers. One two NO. Delta can't believe it. Fans chanting his name gets him back focusing. Both up, Delta charges, Dragon Lee grabs him, kneelifts him a few times, and enziguris him. Dragon Lee picks up Delta by the arm, fireman's drops him in front of the corner, and has him up again. Top rope - no, Lee lose his balance, then sets himself – shooting star press, one two NO. Fireman's drop, a long way away from the ropes Dragon Lee's going to. Springboard elbow drop – LANDS.

Dragon Lee position Delta near the ropes again. He's pushing his luck here. Dragon Lee does cut his throat, and Shocker doesn't like this idea at all. What does he have left? One more shooting star press, but this one comes up empty! Delta is fired up, but he's got to move. Dragon Lee picked up – military pressed up! Delta drops Dragon Lee and pulls him into position. Top rope moonsault connects. One two three. Shocker looks unhappy about that. Huh.

Delta puts on his Delta t-shirt to talk about his win. I think he forgets Dragon Lee's name, but he's also totally out of breath talking.
